[Note: Sources: an afternoon with K and Omo Bob at the Broad collection at LACMA, and our subsequent visit to Book Soup (where I purchased the Soupault and the Tardos). Anne Tardos, “Cat Licked the Garlic”, “Beyond the Tree Grille”, in The Dik-dik's Solitude: New and Selected Works; Phillipe Soupault, Last Nights of Paris (tr. W C Williams); Roland Barthes, The Pleasure of the Text (tr. Richard Miller); bits from an entertainment by Mike Kelley; a work by Richard Serra (didn't write down its name). For my ace boon companions. “Cy Twombly!”]

[Note: Sources: SPD blurbs 6, and a rock Steve Mitchell carved and painted for me. William Wordsworth, “Ode: Intimations of Immortaility” (not SPD); Robert Creeley, “Please” (not SPD); Andrew Kozma, City of Regret; Laura Kasischke, Lilies Without; Paul Eluard, A Moral Lesson; David Shapiro, “The Music Stand”, in New and Selected Poems (1965-2006); the strawberry story is from Philip Whalen’s obit in the SF Chronicle. For my dead compadres, Palisades High School, class of Winter ’68, and for “the collaborators”, thankfully all still living]
